Hardcore League Season One - Final Standings and the After Party!

[Cordovan]

UPDATE 12/10/19: The Hardcore League server has reopened for additional character transfers and other after party activity through January 5th. Once the Hardcore League server is closed after January 5th, the server will not reopen until Season Two, at which point there will be a character database purge. Make sure to get your stuff done before January 6th!

Thank you to everyone who participated in our first Hardcore League! We've now published the final standings for Reaper XP and Total Favor here. Congratulations to everyone on the list! This list will be published in the Hall of Heroes in the future as well.

There were more than 6,000 characters who made it to at least level 5 and survived, so next week's DDO Chronicle will be a special edition featuring everyone who survived at 5+.

We are also pleased to announce that the after party has begun! We have now re-opened the Hardcore League server for players to get their things in order and transfer their character to another server. Make sure to read our FAQ here to get more information about the Character Transfer process.

Character transfers from the Hardcore League to another live server can be done through the regular DDO game launcher. The timing is this: We will be keeping the Hardcore League server open through December 2nd, after which time the Hardcore server will close for a while pending some wider server work we are planning. Once that server work is complete, we will work to get character copies re-enabled for both the Hardcore League and the other servers as well. It is not expected that Character Transfers will be re-enabled following December 2nd until probably early next year.

Taking part and watching this first Hardcore League has been great, and we hope you've had a good time too. Stay tuned for more information about Season Two of the Hardcore League in early 2020!

I believe that early 2020 is too soon.

You're not going to remove the dead characters from the list???

I'm sure you've heard this a bunch already, but PLEASE pass along to the devs that Premium players are interested to. If the server had been altered already to force Perma Death, changing how individuals access quests should be "potentially" possible. By this I mean the players that say Premium players would be left behind because we can't open Elite right away.

Beyond that I dunno, I personally don't care for leaderboard placements or trying to compete with other players, I was intrigued with the idea of starting fresh with no items/gear and just seeing how far I can make it solo/duoing.

He says there will be information about season 2 early 2020 and not season 2 starting at that time. It's probably just an announcement about when we will see it again in the future. My best guess is around the anniversary event though.

I would love to see some more stats though. What classes did the best or which died the most. What builds were at the top or most used.

Likely.

It would be nice if the next Hardcore League were moved to avoid any other main event, such as:

Aniversary
Night Revels
Winter Games
Etc

Hence the next HCL season 2 might occur in less than a year to avoid Night Revels.

Transferred

That was easy, thanks.
(I did presort my inventory.)

Season Two of the Hardcore League in early 2020!

This is insane. The population of the Orien server was pitiful during the Hardcore League. This is a terrible decision, and I hope the devs reconsider it.

EDIT: Misread the OP. However, I do hope population is considered before announcing season 2.

My suggestion for making it open to Premium players would be to let you buy a token on the DDO store for X number of points that lets you create ONE Permadeath character. (Basically, when you finish character creation, you talk to Mortality, and if you're not VIP you have to turn in a token in order to start questing.) Around 500-700 points each seems like a good number to me.

I think this would be on the easy side to implement, and I think that'd be a good option all around.

I wonder why my character 'Deine' with 5253 favor is not on the list anymore. The last time I checked she was alive and well while looking for some adventures Thursday evening in the last week of the league. Did a Dev kill her in my absence?

here is a picture to prove.... so frustating....

last 15 days of the server i was checking the leaderbord... until the last day i was there...

[Elharith]

I had iconic characters who I did not end up leveling to 15. I have moved them to their respective new homes and wondered if there is a way now they are there to level them up to 15 now.

[westudi]

Awesome!

Any idea on generally how long it takes to transfer a toon?

Are we able to transfer all our toons (assuming we have the slots) or is there a limit?

Thanks. Definitely enjoyed Hardcore way more than I expected. In no small part because it was so active. Might be a good idea to condense the actual number of servers to help emulate that.

Hmm, we did a pull of the raw data as of the end of the event on Friday. Just to make sure, the character didn't die?

no man .. stop playing 15 days before the server ending...

I didn't log on 'Deine' when I accessed the server not to interact with the character for now, but on Edwardt to have a look at Mortality just to find out the leaderboard has taken down. At the log in screen 'Deine' was on the airship and seems to be still alive.
I'm afraid someone needs to double check the data.

You must have made a huge amount of revenue to already be considering hardcore league season 2. While I'm not a fan of HC at all, just keep the rewards purely cosmetic and I wont have an issue.

This is not a PvP game, why should you or I be concerned with the rewards others get?
